strengthen the general constitution. In
other words, we employ combined local
and general treatment.
What is MEDICAL Inhalation? BEFORE
| stating briefly what Medical limitation
| is. we propose in as few words as possible,
| to state clearly what 1t is not.
| Medical Inhalation is not cure-all. q
nostrum or a panacea. It Is not specific
remedy for any disease. 1t is not quack
| medicine, or advertised to cure any or all
| the ills that flesh is heir to, AMI intended TO
| fill the pockets of its proprietors, 1t is not
talisman, whose possession s,a lnsures heaita nt
sense or Judgment. Medical Inhalation is
none of these things.
Medical Inhalation is simply and solely
method of taking medicines by inhaling or
breathing them into the lungs instead OF
swallowing them into the stomach. BY In,
hslation, the proper medicines are applied
directly to the seat of the disease, in the
| nose, throat or lungs; and 1t is clear 10
plicsble Inhalation is in the disorders of
| the organs named. If you have scaided or
burned the surface of the body, or wounded
any limb or member, you do not swallow
the remedy intended to heal the olsor-
ganized tissue. On the contrary, you apply
It directly to the seat of the wound or in
| Jury Why, then. when suffering from Ca
tsrI of the nasel passages or throat, or al,
| hicted wi h ulceration of the lungs, should
you rely on medicines taken into the
| stomach?
Medical Inhalation not only applies the
proper healing remedies to the seat OF the
disease, but 1t applies the remedy IN the
%s qT act
fully. How much greater for example, IL
the effect of drachm OF chloroform, when
inhaled or breathed, than many times the
quautity when swallowed into the stomacn;
of many other substances: BY inhalation
the medicine is not poured into the stomach
and thence sent wandering through the
system in search of a malady which may De
m ainly or entirely local one; but BY this
method the proper remedy is applied di'
rectly to the diseased organ. Who, alter
studying the anOtomy OF the lungs: can
doubt that Inflammation and liberation OF
the air-tubes and sir-cells. the direct appli-
cation of the healing medicine by inhala.
ton to the diseased psrts is the correct and
rational method OF treatment? Who, on
the other hand. can be SO irrational as to
believe that the proper and direct way to
reach the diseased surfaces of the air-
passages in this case, is by the way OF the
stomach? Physiology teaches us that the
membrane. or skin, lining the air-passages
slightly modified form of the same structure
as that which covers the external surface
of the body. Why, then, should local treat
ment be proper and necessary for intiam'
nations, COMPOSITIONS and alterations OF the
one and not be equally so in the case OF the
other?
Our experience and success in treating
, diseases of the nose. throat and lungs. de
monstrates, beyond all question. that the
true scientific treatment of these diseases IL
J that treatment which combines the lOca
) effects of medical inhalation with the con
stitutiOnal effects of systematic remedies
given in the usual way by the stomach
, One or both methods must be adopted al
/ the circumstances demand, and such rene
dies must be employed as tho experience
and Judgment of the physician have PROVED
to be proper in each particular case.
MedicaI Advocates of In halAtiOn
Physicians who were educated twent!

The Durability of Consumption
For five years the celebrated DR.. I. H
Bennett wsa pathologist to the Royal 10
frmsry of Edinburgh, and in his greai
work on Consumption" he makes the fol
lowing statement:
During this period l made upwards OF
1000 post-mortem examinations of persons
dying from various diseases, and ! was
constantly meeting with cases in which
fOund cavities in the lungs from consump'
ton, which had evidently healed up or

subject. Nature did not seem to have been
successful in restoring the wasted lung

lung power it is true, but otherwise in good
health"
